Contributing

git clone https://github.com/N1ck/gifs-for-github
cd gifs-for-github
pnpm install

pnpm run watch # Listen to file changes and automatically rebuild

Debug Mode

When developing, you can enable debug mode by setting the DEBUG environment variable:

DEBUG=true npm run build

This will output helpful logs prefixed with 🎨 when using the extension.

Once built, load it in the browser of your choice with web-ext:

npx web-ext run --target=chromium # Open extension in Chrome

npx web-ext run # Open extension in Firefox

Or you can load it manually in Chrome or Firefox.
